Directly, pollution is responsible for quite a surplus of deaths in densely populated areas.
Apart from that the CO2 isn't that much to have a significant effect on us.
Also microplastics, sadly.
People are dumber with higher CO2 concentrations. No joke bring a brilliant person and they will struggle. This is why we need good ventilation in classrooms because it can get stuffy(low O2 and high CO2)
How high of a ppm do you need to get that effect?
The government started pollution so people would get dumber and not question it
